The Pollington Skeleton, Roman Burial and Stone Sarcophagus, Doncaster Museum and Gallery, Yorkshire, 29.7.18.

This stone sarcophagus was discovered in a stone quarry in Pollington, Yorkshire. It is the skeleton of a high status female of around fifty years of age. Very unusually the burial is influenced by Egyptian funerary rituals. The inner lining of the stone coffin is of a limestone plaster. The burial was conducted in the 4th century CE and this is unusual in that most Romans were commonly cremated at this time.
